After we have finished in Bampton
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Going forward:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Avoid these
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.

Questions from Bampton
How far is Bampton from London?
We cover Bampton, about 64 miles from central London.
Can you survey a school or hall near Bampton?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
Will the survey damage the property?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The size of the job
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How many different materials need sampling
Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
What to photograph
Helpful photos:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Where we could park
- Damaged areas
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
How we work
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. We seal up each sample point. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions.
- Send us the address and what you need the survey for
- We confirm whether you need a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive a clear written report with recommendations
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking and access
- Ensure we can get to the area
- Keep children and pets away on the day
How to get a quote
Include any existing survey or test when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we deal with
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Roofing felt and bitumen
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Your options compared
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
How we work in Bampton
